Hi there,
We've just bought our first house, so sadly there are no funds left to restore my Red '82 Golf GTi and I need to pass it on.? I thought i'd post something here before trying trademe - as i'd love it to go to someone who can either restore it, or use it to keep another of these great cars on the road.

It was purchased new in UK, and imported to NZ in 1983 (still has the black numberplate - LH3).? It has been off the road for a while (is on the restoration register), and will fire up but then dies immediately (accumulator?).? The biggest problem though is some rust at the bottom of the windscreen that will need attending to, and a little rust on the left door and bonnet.? Otherwise, the body and interior are in good shape.? The car has not been modified in any way.? I started taking the interior apart - all the bits are still around in numbered bags!

Before I realised I wouldn't have the dosh to restore it anytime soon, I had fitted a new radiator and seatbelts.? I also have a brand-new windscreen, windscreen rubber and accumulator available, still in the box from VAG.? Ideally these would be part of the sale, but I am open on that.

Please feel free to ask questions here or email me - [email protected] - if you'd like to know more or come and take a look.? I have to do something with it before 1 April, when we move house.

Sure, i'll try to take some pics tomorrow.
It's done about 120,000 miles, and i've had it since '95, although it's been off the road since about 2000.
The car is in Auckland (North Shore).
I think $500 would be reasonable for the car and the parts (the new parts alone cost $750 from Qualitat).
BTW the interior trim and the Recaros themselves are all present and correct and in excellent condition.

Thanks Nik - Hartster's just been around and relieved me of my Golf.? Very, very sad to see it go, but at least now I know it's gone to someone that'll resurrect it.
Kinda funny to see him turn up in my old Mk2 16V!! :D

hartster
